【名师点睛】

一．重语境

完形填空着眼于整体理解，必须在对短文大意进行了解的基础上才能准确的推知答案。因此，需要注意上下句的逻辑关系以及整片文章的情节如（13）小题，根据“until the emergency personnel arrived, ___13___she thought the car was going to ”句意：这位受困的女士想从汽车里出来，而Larry不让她动，怕她伤到脖子，这两句话之间是转折关系。你要通过前后文才能得知答案。

二．重实词

完形填空的命题是在一句话中的关键词语上做文章。考查的词语大多是名词，动词，形容词，副词等实词，当然也不排除能左右文章内容的一些虚词，如介词，连词等。Forbidden被禁止的；ready有准备的； asked 被问到的； free自由的。
